The book of Acts ends with these words: "Boldly and without
hindrance, Paul preached the kingdom of God and taught
about the Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 28:31). Although the book
of Acts may have ended with these words, the mission of Acts
has not. The church is still committed to telling the world
about Jesus. We, as God's people, are living out the mission
of Acts 28 as, collectively, we write new chapters of God's
continued work in this world.
It is with this in mind that Fishers of Family embarks on a
new chapter in its own ministry, Acts 29. The Acts 29
campaign involves monumental shifts in our ministry that will
allow us, with increasing impact, to live out the mission given
to us in Acts 28.
